I have written several documents in Word from the Office 1997 Suite. I want to burn these documents to some CD's which I would then mail to people who are interested in the subject I have written about. One of these documents/files is about 350 pages in length.
My question is this: Some of the people who receive my CD's may not have Word installed on their computers. Will they be able to read the Word documents even though Word is not installed on their computers?
Thank you very much for any help.

Yes - they should be able to open it up in Wordpad. But it depends on the content of the document. If there's images and tables in it, it may not work.

The other alternative is if they have a compatiable office suite such as OpenOffice or Microsoft Works Word Processor. You could include a portable version of OpenOffice on your CD if there's sufficient disk space. (It's only 69.5mb). It's a free open-source Office suite. http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable

Let me know which approach you take.

Thank you very much for this help. I will add OpenOffice to the CD with the understanding that this will make it possible for readers of the CD to view images and tables written in Word as well as Word text.
